p2271 p2096
My 09 bmw 535xi has p2271 and p2096
Apparently from what I've read the codes mean: P2271 BMW - O2 Sensor Signal Biased/Stuck Rich Bank 1 Sensor 2 P2096 BMW - Post Catalyst Fuel Trim System Too Lean Bank 1 I hooked up a smoke tester on the vacuum system and found smoke coming out from the back part of the motor. I could not tell exactly, but I narrowed it down to the plastic tube that hooked up to the valve cover. I couldn't tell if that was the actual cause because it cracked and broke into a bunch of pieces when I was taking it off so I replaced it. I did a smoke test again with that part replaced and did not see any more smoke. I cleared the codes and ran the car for a while. Every now and then the car has a hard start, it will crank for longer than usual or it will sputter once or twice when starting. I ignored it because I finally got the check engine light to go away. It stayed away for a week and now it's back for the same codes. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm thinking about smoke testing it again and if that's not it could it be a leaky injector that is also causing the hard start occasionally? |

Some people solved it with adjusting the O2 sims in their modded cars, but I'm assuming yours is stock. |
